Restorative Poses

You can stay in these poses for as long as they are comfortable and you are able to relax.

Constructive Rest

You can also do this pose lying flat on the ground. With the bolster it helps to open up the shoulders and chest

​Supported back bridge

Instead of a yoga block you can use a text book or dictionary. You lift the hips and then place the block under your sacrum (which is the flat part of the hips). You should feel balanced if you do not move the block or book until you feel balanced. In this pose you can also have a pillow under the head.
